A new kind of partially coherent beam with non-conventional correlation function named generalized multi-Gaussian correlated Schell-model (GMGCSM) beam is proposed. The GMGCSM beam of the first or second kind is capable of producing dark hollow or flat-topped beam profile in the focal plane (or in the far field). Furthermore, we carry out experimental generation of a GMGCSM beam of the first or second kind, and measure its focused intensity. Our experimental results verify theoretical predictions. The GMGCSM beam will be useful for free-space optical communications, material thermal processing, particle or atom trapping.
